J is for JUKEBOX MUSICALS

Welcome to Yes, This Will Be On the Test.

Waving to visitors, new followers, and fellow A to Z participants. I’m sending virtual hugs to you all for taking a moment to stop by.

I’ll be sharing my “take-aways.” All those snigglets, golden nuggets, and lessons learned from other creative sources.

Want to have a hand-clapping, toe-tapping blast in the theatre? 

Head for the nearest Jukebox Musical. 

These are shows that take the music of a single artist or artists and invent a storyline based on a group of songs.

My three faves are:

Playing in Vegas, Broadway, and various tours.

Touring - Coming to Los Angeles - Pantages Theatre in May

Broadway, touring, soon BACK to Vegas

and of course THE MOVIE!

I've seen both Mamma Mia and Jersey Boys on stage. 

SO-MUCH-FUN!

I'm aiming to see American Idiot when it hits LA.

Here are some other Jukebox Musicals:

We Will Rock You (Queen), Rock of Ages (Metal bands from the 1980s), Movin' Out (Billy Joel)

TAKE AWAY: A song tells a story. A string of songs makes a musical!

Have you seen a Jukebox Musical on stage?

I've been singing show tunes as long as I can remember. From Rogers and Hammerstein to Andrew Lloyd Webber I've never met a musical I didn't like. I believe music is the key to unlock the heartsong of the human condition. I dare you to listen to "If I Loved You" from Carousel, "For Good" from Wicked, or "Bring Him Home" from Les Miserables and not be moved.

Next on my must see list are Book of Mormon and American Idiot. How about you?
